Hi, I need a few cubic yards of grow medium and I was wondering if anyone had any opinions on how the below would do and if you'd add anything to it. I can get it locally, delivery shouldn't be that bad and would be much cheaper than buying a pallet of foxfarm ocean forest or even kelloggs soils.
I could even mix the below two so that there is more compost but I'm guessing I'd then have to add some type of aeration amendment. Actually, maybe I'd have to do that either way. I'm new to this so I'm not sure.
Thanks.
